| Wo9iu nor haNc thought OF taNlBg tue atep
for which be Mr. Hoar) nov Grraigned
the present Speaker. "Now," he said, ait
has seemed best to u majority Of the Senate
TO submit 10 having the Law which
was passed by tho Senate almost
unanimously, and which was never SUBJ
| mttted to the other house at all, evisosTat-
ed and emasoulatsd by the process whsah
has been here described. We have not
thought IL desirable IN the state of public
| feeling and business and the prevailing
sentiment OF the American peopis to in-
sist upon sn extra session OF Conarsss,
but wish for one to give notice thRt In
my Judgment this is the last time that
that usurpation will be submitted co."
sECK TO THE DEPENsE.
Mr.. B9ch-I was called out Of the
chamber for awhile, and was only IN time
to hear what seems to me most remark
able TRADE against the Speaker OF the
House. That gentleman needs no defense
at my handle, and had supposed that in
tho Senate Of the United States, under
the rules and proprieties OF the occasion,
comment upon the action OF the Speaker
would not be INDUCED in. / have only
this to say: That there is no man in
Massachusetts, or outside OF Massachu-
eetts. who will attack either the In
tegrlty, honesty, or ability OF the
Speaker of the present House with
! impunity in his presence. 1t would be
more manly for some gentleman in that
| House to rise there and say whatever 1t
might be thought proper to say ip regard
to his action as Speaker, than for MEM
ber of this Senate, where he cannot be
! heard ard where he has no right to speak,
| to attack him. There are $50 partisans
of the Senator from Massachusetts on the
floor OF tine other House, all of whom have
tho right to make whatever attack they
please, and if they do they will receive a
response befitting the attack.
NEITHER FAIR NOR MANLY.
| Mr.. Beck added that it was not fair
| ("Nor manly" iuterjected Mr.. Harris J
10 attack him behind his back when no
man dares to attack him before his face.
Mr.. Beck held that MIR. Carlisle had vio-
lated no rule OF the House, nor of cour-
| teSy nor honor, or that he had done any
act either revolutionary or wrong since
he has presided over that great body, aud
| that no man will dare to tell him that he
| has.
Messrs. Blackburn and Harris also de-
tended Mr.. Carlisle, whom they said
needed no defense, and condemned Mr..
Hoar's assault as supplementary, un-
fair and unjust. Mr.. Blackburn flattered
himself tnat even in the State of Massa-
chusetts, where the Senator is known
| and seems to be appreciated, 1t will not
work a great deal of harm.
BLACKBURN TAKES UP THE CUDGELS.
Mr.. Hoar asked what assault Mr..
| Blackburn referred to.
Mr.. Black burn--I will answer the Seua-
tor and tell him when he denominates the
Speaker of the American Congress
''usurper," l deny it, and say that it is
not true, and that nothing in the record
| will sustain such au assertion When he
says that the Speaker of the American
Congress refused to submit, or stated that
he would not submit, the proposed revis-
| ion of the tariff, deny that, and say that
1t is not true. Now [ trust the Senator
is answered. The Senator wanted the
issue made. He has the issue now.
| Mr.. Hoar-Has the Senator read the
letter to which l refer?
TERRIBLE SCORING.
Mr.. Blackburn--I have not, but have
heard of it, and call the attention OF the
Senator from Massachusetts to the fact
that 1t is one OF the least of many mis-.
| takes which he mas made in the attack
that he was not discussing the letter
which he read, but was discussing, in viO-
lation of the rules and in utter disregard
| OF decency, the members of another
House and the Speaker and presiding Of
fcer of that House. There is no
| necessity for an elaborate defense
mere. SIMPLY rose 10 express tne nope
that the day would come when the State
which furnished to the Senate chamber
of the country such men as Daniel
Webster and Rufus ChOate would at
last find an opportunity to honor itself,
and to do an essential service to the
American people by sending here son
who Will be at least the peer of the pres
eut Speaker Of the House OF Representa-
tives in all that goes to constitute fair
dealing, high character and able patriot
| ism.
This closed the discussion, and then the
question was put upon the conference
report, which was agreed TO without
division.
